As soon as Jiang Nuan returned home, she saw a man standing at the door.
He stood at the door of Jiang Nuan's house, one hand in his pocket, a cigarette between his slender fingers, the cigarette burning quietly. His eyes were slightly lowered, and a faint smoke lingered around him, making him look a little lonely and isolated, as if he had been cut off from the world.
The sudden brightness made him squint his eyes slightly out of habit.
After seeing who was coming, he put out his cigarette. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes were filled with unconcealable joy, and he returned to the world again.
Fu Yanci didn't know why he liked Jiang Nuan, a woman he had only met twice.
He just felt that she was very familiar, and he couldn't help but be moved. He thought maybe this was what people often call love at first sight.
"Are you back?"
"Um."
For some reason, Jiang Nuan felt that this scene was very much like a dutiful husband welcoming his wife who was out for a social event.
Jiang Nuan couldn't help shaking her head, trying to get rid of all the strange thoughts.
"Yichen, come home with daddy." Jiang Nuan squatted down and touched Fu Yichen's furry little head.
Fu Yichen didn't move and held Jiang Nuan's hand stubbornly.
Jiang Nuan felt something in her heart, but also felt helpless. She said softly, "You can still come to Auntie's house for breakfast tomorrow, okay? Go back quickly."
Fu Yichen then reluctantly let go of Jiang Nuan's hand, and followed Fu Yanci home, looking back every few steps.
Fu Yanci looked at his son with a depressed expression and couldn't help but ask: Are you my son or someone else's son?
But thinking of his love for Jiang Nuan, Fu Yanci quickly changed his tone: "Yi Chen, do you want Aunt Jiang Nuan to be your mother?"
Fu Yichen suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Fu Yanci, flickering as if filled with stars.
But as if he remembered something, the light in his eyes dimmed again.
He doesn't like to talk, but he is not a stupid child. He knows that his father is engaged to another aunt, who claims to be his mother.
"Yi Chen, Daddy never told you that the auntie we met today is not your biological mother, and Daddy has already arranged an engagement with her. So you don't have to worry."
After listening to what Fu Yanci said, Fu Yichen's hope was rekindled.
"Yichen, Dad will ask the kindergarten to hold a parent-child activity. You can take this opportunity to develop a relationship with Aunt Jiang Nuan and your sister, okay?" It must be said that Fu Yanci really understands his son.
He raised his eyebrows at Fu Yichen. He knew his son was very smart and could understand what he meant.
As expected, Fu Yichen nodded heavily: Happiness must be in your own hands!
…
"Hello."
"Fu Yanci took action."
"...Then let's take it slow for now."
“Beep, beep…”
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Jiang Nuan's expression remained unchanged, and I don't know what she was thinking.
While everyone was falling into sweet dreams, the direction of online public opinion was quietly changing.
"This teacher is so good-looking, I'm afraid she's just a facade, a name for nothing."
"Shocking! This teacher doesn't even have a teaching certificate, let alone a medical license."
"Can anyone be a teacher these days? Wouldn't that mislead students?"
"She's so beautiful, she must be kept by someone through the backdoor."
“Oh my god, there are pictures of her with different men in this post!”
"It's true that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart."
The next day, Jiang Nuan came to class as usual and was a little confused by the students' whispers.
You were so serious yesterday, why are you gossiping today?
It was not until Jiang Nuan was called away by a teacher after class that her doubts were resolved.
"Hey, look, the teacher was called away by the dean of studies. Do you think what was said on the Internet is true?" As soon as the boy asked the question, he was criticized by other students.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Teacher Jiang's professionalism is so high. People online don't understand, and as his student, you actually question it?"
"I think he's holding a grudge because the teacher found out yesterday that he has kidney deficiency."
"I suppose so."
The male student who was being ridiculed could no longer stay in the classroom and turned around and fled amid the endless laughter.
"Xiao Nuan, the principal called you over this time because many people online are questioning your unlicensed teaching and unlicensed medical practice. Some even say that you are being kept by someone. But don't be afraid, the dean and I will protect you." The headmaster said to Jiang Nuan with a serious face.
Jiang Nuan smiled after hearing this. She felt warm in her heart when she was protected by someone she had only known for a short time.
"It's okay, Director. I'm not afraid."
The dean didn't say anything else, he just felt that Jiang Nuan was comforting him.
How could such a young girl not be afraid when encountering such a thing and being scolded by so many people?
But what he didn't know was that he had seen a lot of abuse against Jiang Nuan.
In the first year after being brought home, Jiang Nuan was criticized and condemned by her closest biological relatives, and was even nearly killed. She overcame all of this alone. Compared to those painful memories, what were the unwarranted online attacks?
"Principal, I've brought the person here." The dean of studies pushed the door open and led Jiang Nuan into the principal's office.
"Are you here? Sit down."
"Principal, Jiang Nuan grew up under my care. He would never do what those people on the Internet say." Before Jiang Nuan could speak, the dean Li Hongran who was sitting next to him couldn't wait to speak.
"Mr. Li, please don't say anything yet. I haven't asked yet." The principal felt helpless in the face of this old teacher who was older and more experienced than him.
Li Hongran is a friend of Master Jiang Nuan. It is no exaggeration to say that he has watched Jiang Nuan grow up.
After he finished speaking, he winked at Jiang Nuan and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. Your grandfather is not here. I will protect you."
Jiang Nuan was deeply moved when she saw this old man, who was usually obsessed with academics, arguing with others for her until his face turned red.
"I can handle this little thing myself, why do I need you to help? You underestimate Xiao Nuan too much." Jiang Nuan pouted and pretended to be angry.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, you haven't thought it through enough." Li Hongran was slightly stunned, then he smiled, patted his head, and sat aside to watch the show.
After not seeing her for so many years, he had forgotten the little girl's ability to judge people. Back then, several old men sat at the door of Cheng Shuqiao's house and couldn't win over her.
Thinking of Jiang Nuan's great achievements, Li Hongran suddenly felt a little sympathy for the principal in front of him who remained calm and elegant.
Li Hongran knew, but the dean didn't. He was still worried, looking at Li Hongran sitting down, so anxious that he wanted to speak, like an ant on a hot pan.
Li Hongran looked at the dean who was still standing, pulled him down, and sat him next to him.
